  Ukrainians Information
Ukrainians are the descendants of several peoples who inhabited the vast area extending from north of the Black Sea to the borders of Russia, Poland, Moldova, Belarus and Slovakia.
However, Ukrainian origins are overwhelmingly Slavic while non-Slavic nomads who mostly lived in the steppes of southern Ukraine had little influence on the ancestors of modern Ukrainians.
Ukrainians are predominantly of the Orthodox Christian faith, in eastern and southern Ukraine most common is the cannonically recognised Ukrainian Orthodox Church which recognises the authority of the Moscow Patriarchy of the Russian Orthodox Church.

 Russian Language, Newly Independent States, Ukraine - Johnson's Russia List 11-6-02
Like preceding Soviet censuses, the Ukrainian census asks people not what language they prefer to speak or actually do speak most of the time but what is their "native language." (2) While the census instructions provide no clear definition of this term, it is widely understood to mean the language of one's forebears.
To justify the status of Ukrainian as sole state language it is better to focus attention on the fact that nearly two-thirds of the population -- a constitutional majority -- consider Ukrainian their native language.
Ukrainian nationalists tend not only to understate but also to de-legitimize the whole phenomenon of Russian language preference among ethnic Ukrainians, making language rights dependent simply upon the distribution of the population by "nationality," meaning ethnic origin.

 Education Malpractices - Johnson's Russia List 1-15-03

Offering an explanation for the rise in self-declared Ukrainians and Ukrainian speakers, Stelmakh said the census was the first to be conducted free of Soviet-style coercion and that people feel more comfortable speaking freely about their identity.
